Banana Islands

Welcome to Banana Islands

Dublin (doo-blin), Ricketts and Mes-Meheux are the three bananas in this pretty archipelago, hanging from the southern tip of the Freetown Peninsula like a ripe bunch of fruit. The islands were first settled by the Portuguese in the 17th century and were later inhabited by freed slaves from the Caribbean – the descendents of those who live here now.
